Early October Colors

It reached 65° here this morning and wasn't raining so I grabbed my scarf, gloves, hat and jacket and took Buggy out with the camera.

I know there will be muddy puddles to avoid but the air felt clear and I need some. It has been very difficult these last two weeks without my eyeglasses and I took pictures anyway. My new lenses had better come in soon because it is frustrating to use the camera without good eyesight! I had to leave the old glasses as I didn't want the expense of new frames. Now I regret that! 

First are the wild turkeys... they gobbled at me and I gobbled back. It was fun! If you look closely you will see that they are where they are due to bird feeders nearby. Soon after I took the photos, they ran up into the woods behind the home.

The rest are shots of nearby trees and bushes that have some color but not at all like their usual burst of glory.

Blogger had something gone askew and my individual images won't upload so.....I made a short slide show!

'Twas The Day Before.....

Thanksgiving, of course! I wish everyone a very nice day tomorrow wherever you be - with friends, family, or alone at home. (Yes, that is my hand-turkey.)

Today I baked lemon cookies and took a picture of the snow coming down and it is only noon. 

I wonder if The Mister has run the generator since last year. I'd better give him a nudge. 

This is my FAVORITE cartoon about turkeys!

The Turkeys are Coming!

Yesterday afternoon my husband looked out the kitchen window and saw a rafter of turkeys in the field next to the treeline on the hill  across the lake. He tried counting them, using his binoculars but they were intermingling and so he just guessed there were about 50-100.

Soon after, I looked out and saw that there was a small number on the road, down from the hill and snatched my camera to catch them.

Because it was raining so hard, I had to stay in the carport, and zoom in. I don't have the capacity in my camera or knowledge to really get great pictures, and as soon as the hens saw me with my white sweatshirt (I know they did) they ran for a few steps and then flew far away into the woods behind the cabin. 

Dummy TOM just ran along the dam road! He RAN down the bank in a panic and disappeared! It was funny!
